where do #websub[1] implementers meet these days?
WebSub provides a common mechanism for communication between publishers of any kind of Web content and their subscribers, based on HTTP web hooks. Subscription requests are relayed through hubs, which validate and verify the request. Hubs then distribute new and updated content to subscribers when it becomes available. WebSub was previously known as PubSubHubbub.

WebSub Kirby Plugin โ I made a plugin which will inform a WebSub hub about updated or new posts: https://florianziegler.com/journal/websub-kirby-plugin
Playing around with #FreshRSS and I was looking at documentation for #WebSub. It says to test with http://push-tester.cweiske.de/ So I go to that site and I see a funny little quote that made me laugh."Don't relax! It's only your tension that's holding you together."

Question: Is WebSub (formerly PubSubHubBub) still relevant these days? And if so, to what extent?
Edit: I totally forgot to say why I'm asking. I'm cleaning up old blog settings and plugins, and wondering whether it's worth keeping the WebSub support or not.

Personally, I advocate for users directly owning and publishing content to subscribers with optional relay intermediaries, but nobody's asking me.
This would ask more of users, but agency must be seized. It is not given.
